TIN and TIaN and Alpha TM process...

Member

Has any of you used TIN process or TIaN process on bolts or action? TIN is relatively cheap, and the wear factor plus it"s lubricant value are super. I have used drills and mills with it and well, I still am...the same ones! Dimensionally the application is about .0001- .0002, no problem there. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Gary I might want to try TIaN on a Sig pistol barrel also.

JP AR-15 parts, and Young Mfg AR-15 parts, have both TIN coated AR-15 bolts, and bolt carriers before. Maybe DPMS had a TIN coated carrier and firing pin, before. I think it's a great idea. Excellent surface hardening treatment.
I think it would work great on any pistol parts. Use it on high wear parts.
